Whichever decision is made by the club. There is an absolute certainty that it will leave some supporters very unhappy. With only around 20,000 fans being allowed in and around 35,000 plus season ticket holders. There is a certainty that some fans will be left disappointed.

Hospitality areas will have to follow the same rules as everyone else re social distancing.Tunnel club, other major corporate fans will get first dibs as they maximise the revenue per seat available.

I have been going to watch City since the 1967/8 season. Then the following season I have been a ticket holder. So are you telling me that after watching City since then I am not allowed to go to watch them just because I might catch the virus.
Season ticket holders should take priority over those from both the tunnel club and those of the 93. 20 section. I know the club needs the money. Loyalty should matter over those who have the money.
Should the club go down the road off giving tickets to those that have the money, they could lose a lot of supporters for good. After all if the club needs to look after the season ticket holders who have remained loyal, especially those who remained loyal during the bad times.
This can easily be done by checking how long they have been season ticket holders. Anyone who has been a season ticket holder over 30yrs should have a priority over tho as that don't have that long.

Indeed but will the corporate areas suddenly increase with fans being told they have missed out so cant go whilst someone else is sat in their seat and is paying a bit more?
Apologies for my scepticism here, it isn't aimed at you are anyone else personally but im very much in the if its safe to watch then everyone can go camp. If its not, so be it, stadiums stay empty.
This will do nothing other than piss people off and alienate many imo.

If those that are successful in the first ballot are excluded from the second, and so on - I could live with that.
if 20k are allowed for say 15 PL matches that would be 300k in total. So about 8 or 9 matches per season ticket holder.

To anyone who says that those over 50yrs old shouldn't be allowed to attend, to keep the spread of the Covid19 virus. Let's look at where the problem lies, it is those aged between 18yrs to 30yrs. It is this age group that is not obey the government guide lines. So why should those over 50yrs old be the ones that have promised out from going to watch the game's.

Would that mean fewer people applying for crap games so they aren't excluded from better games? Not sure that's too appealing. Suspect it'll be a random ballot. Would have been good to have this information rather than piecemeal guesswork once again.

There's no equivalent to Cityzens Matchday Members in hospitality to the best of my knowledge. You've either got a season card in Legends, Tunnel Club etc or you buy on a match by match basis. As far as I'm aware, only existing seasonal hospitality members will be allowed to access the areas they hold tickets for, so the club won't be selling matchday hospitality packages.Indeed but will the corporate areas suddenly increase with fans being told they have missed out so cant go whilst someone else is sat in their seat and is paying a bit more?

To answer another question, as far as I'm aware at the moment, general admission areas will be the same mix as they would be on a normal matchday, which is (in home areas) around 80% seasoncard holders, the majority of the rest being Cityzens members with a small percentage of staff/Supporters Club seats. Before anyone starts whingeing, those OSC seats are usually used for foreign fans who travel to games in groups, such as my sons' mates in the Phoenix branch who were all planning on coming over to the Norwich game. I doubt very many at all, if any, will be doing that this coming season.
The mechanics of the ballot were the least urgent thing we had to discuss but with pretty well everything else sorted out regarding ticketing, we'll be starting to talk about that in detail. We've asked for some sort of weighting based on points if that's at all possible. That might well be based on a number of tickets going into a pot exclusively for those with higher points. A lot will depend on how many apply for tickets for each game obviously. No idea currently how we're going to deal with groups and we're also hoping there will be some ability for choosing seats, subject to distancing rules and availability.
We're also asking the club to provide a number of opportunities to return tickets you've got in the ballot, both at the time they're allocated and closer to a game (say up to 72 hours). Can't guarantee we'll get all or even any of these of course as it all depends on what the club feel is doable.
